0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Annapolis Blues FC is a small, community-focused soccer club operating men's and women's teams competing in USL leagues. The website serves as an information hub for ticket sales, schedules, community programs, sponsors, and team rosters. The business model centers on sports entertainment, community engagement, and merchandise sales. Technically, the site is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies and providing a responsive, visually appealing user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though there is room for improvement in DNS security and security headers. Privacy compliance is lacking due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with active social media presence and consistent domain registration data.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The club targets local and regional soccer fans, families, and community members, offering ticketed events and community programs like 'Kicks for Kids'. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, merchandise, and sponsorships. The website's clear navigation and active social media integration support fan engagement and marketing efforts. The domain age and registration details align with the club's recent founding in 2022, indicating a legitimate and active business. The absence of explicit contact emails or phone numbers suggests reliance on web forms and social channels for communication.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with HSTS, uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and is hosted on a reputable platform (Squarespace). However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy are missing. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency in security management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional measures and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to meet GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Squarespace, using modern JavaScript, CSS, and Typekit fonts. It integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security and uses CDN-hosted assets for performance. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, typical for CMS-based sites. SEO is basic with proper meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks advanced SEO optimizations. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The hosting provider is Squarespace, which offers reliable uptime and security features but limits custom server-side configurations.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
